Item 4.01. Changes In Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

This Current Report on Form 8-K relates solely to the Hanesbrands Inc. Salaried Retirement Savings Plan of Puerto Rico (the “Puerto Rico Plan”).

On May 14, 2007, the Puerto Rico Plan dismissed its independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe Chizek and Company LLC (“Crowe Chizek”), and on May 15, 2007 engaged Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. The authorization to change the Puerto Rico Plan’s independent accountant was approved by the Hanesbrands Inc. Employee Benefits Administrative Committee, the committee that administers the Puerto Rico Plan.

The change in independent accountants did not result from any dissatisfaction with the quality of professional services rendered by Crowe Chizek.

During the Puerto Rico Plan’s two most recent fiscal years, the reports of Crowe Chizek with respect to the Puerto Rico Plan’s financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Furthermore, during the Puerto Rico Plan’s two most recent fiscal years, and the subsequent interim period prior to such dismissal, there were no disagreements with Crowe Chizek on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure that, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Crowe Chizek, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report on the financial statements for such period. None of the “reportable events” described under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K occurred during the last two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period prior to the dismissal of Crowe Chizek.

During the Puerto Rico Plan’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of Grant Thornton, neither the Puerto Rico Plan nor anyone acting on behalf of the Puerto Rico Plan consulted Grant Thornton about (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on any of the Puerto Rico Plan’s financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or a “reportable event” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Puerto Rico Plan requested Crowe Chizek furnish the Puerto Rico Plan with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that Crowe Chizek agrees with the above statements. A copy of Crowe Chizek’s letter, dated June 29, 2007, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
